#OOTD | Brilliant Bolds Feat. eShakti.com

As we are quick approaching the finale of summer 2015, I am being as bold as ever can be by flaunting ALL the vibrant colors in my wardrobe. Being an absolute sucker for prints and brilliant bold’s I instantly fell in love with this Vibrant Umbrella Print Dress from eShakti.com. The fit and flare cut, beautiful splashes of all my favorite rad colors and repetitive umbrella’s were more then enough plus points for me to snag this beauty as a casual day dress option for this summer. AND its crucial for me to add that I live in Vancouver, also commonly known as Raincouver which in my defense means that this dress could not be more perfect for my beautiful city and more fitting to my outrageous personality.

If you are a shorty, Jack’s bean stalk, ridiculously petite, plus size, big-breasted, flat-chested or any other body specification; eShakti.com is pretty much your saving grace. What is simply amazing about shopping with eShakti.com is that you are able to customize your garment pieces to your personal liking – from your size, height, length (my personal favorite option), sleeve preferences and other options, eShakti.com has got you covered from A-Z. For instance, I have been on the hunt for a fit and flare dress with a super voluminous skirt that sits right before the knees for several months and with eShakti.com’s height and dress length option I was pretty much guaranteed that my flare beauty would sit right before my knee caps. Success! Let me fill you lovelies in on thefull pow-wow on my experience with eShakti.com

– FIRST IMPRESSION –

Packaging was plain jane basic. However, the dress itself made my heart smile – the colors were just as rich and fabulous as what I had seen on their website. The flare skirt portion of the dress was as voluminous as I had wanted it to be and if I have any desire to stand over a vent one evening, I would most definitely have a Marilyn Manroe moment.

– ORDERING –

Ordering: I didn’t have too many adjustments on my dress, so that part was pretty easy peasy. Although, I had some issues with placing my order through the website and had to contact via e-mail their customer service department. BUT they were in touch with me within the same day and my order was processed shortly after. Overall, I have no complaints.

– SHIPPING –

Super impressed with the turnaround and shipping time. I was expecting my dress to arrive within two-three weeks, but I had it delivered to my door step within a weeks worth of time. I had a member from their media relations email me when the product left their warehouse and other important updates. Possibly one of the best and efficient shipping experiences I have dealt with. So thank you eShakti.com for not being a pain in my rear end.

– FIT + COMFORT –

Fits me like a glove, accentuates all the right areas; especially my bust and I have never felt more like a women in a dress before. Decently comfortable on a regular, cool Vancouver day but if temperatures are 25+ degrees, no thank you.

– QUALITY –

Extremely structured and thick in fabric, personally would have loved it more if it was lighter in fabric. On really hot summer days, I completely roast in it; but then again, could it be a fit and flare style of a dress without the fabric being that thick? The closure on the dress is a zipper on the side which is super sticky and I have managed to do the dress up once by myself and every other time I had to seek for assistance. I have also caught my skin on the zipper many times and we all know how much that hurts!

– PERSONAL STYLING –

I LOVE creating the illusion of a skirt with this dress. To my recall, the times I have worn this dress; I have paired it with either a cool jacket, vest or some sort of over-sized blouse. Nope, the dress has never been worn by itself. Since I am currently OBSESSED with all shades of blue, especially that amazing baby blue; I thought why not the dress with some shades of blue. Voila! Enter my cobalt blue peep-toe heels with a wooden heel and a light-washed chambray shirt, loosely knotted. As for accessories, I kept the jewels silver and consistent with an overall edgy appeal. (Forgot my earrings) AND to really add some spunk … I incorporated another bold color to my outfit through one of my favorite shades of lipstick from MAC and threw on my retro cat-eye specs!

That wraps up my first official personal style post on the blog 🙂 My sincere apologies on the lengthy read, I promise the next one will be short and sweet 🙂 However, I would LOVE to hear how you style your fit and flare dress and your overall wonderful thoughts.
